They are doubling down on cable. A move so stupid that I suspect Joe Alleva is moonlighting for them.

Weird it's as good as ever for me

No issues, and the new update with the 4-Box, crown it.

No they're not they just bought MLBAM a few months ago, once they launch the new apps with them in 2018 they'll be gold.

They had an app that worked just fine. And then they switched to one that is complete garbage. It's been utter shite for months and they haven't fixed it. There is absolutely no way they are not doing it on purpose.

My feed for the LSU/Syracuse game on WatchESPN was shite. Choppy as hell.

Switched it to the feed on SlingTV and it's perfect. Something is definitely fishy.

As I said, they just bought the gold standard for streaming MLBAM a few months ago, Disney and ESPN are redoing all of their apps with MLBAM for 2018.

Maybe the old developers don't give a shite since they're being replaced.

It's funny how it streams perfectly for commercials. And then cuts out as soon as game action begins

It sucked for me the first couple Saturdays this season but it's been running strong all day for me so far today.

I backed out 5 times and now it's streaming fine.

It was just so dumb.

It's been bad so long they could have had 2 monkeys banging on keyboards fix it by now.

When they do switch to working apps they will start phasing out watchespn coming free with your cable package and simultaneously introduce a standalone package for north of $20/month.

Watchespn is now completely unusable for me on xb1. But sling runs fine.

Kind of agree with tom, here

WatchESPN works fine on my Mac. Doesn't work well at all on TV with amazon fire stick.
